Gamma oryzanol is an organic radical scavenger able to prevent lipoperoxidation. Moreover, it shows a dose-dependent increase of the induction times; in particular, it improved the oxidative stability of oils with high contents of PUFAs, which are prone to peroxidation.

Gamma oryzanol is a plant sterol. It can exert steroid like activity if the subject is physically active (is exercising). An unpublished study by Bucci, L., Stiles, J., Sparks, W., and DeLuca, D., 1987, compared anabolic steroid users to those athletes supplemented with gamma oryzanol. Initially, the anabolic steroid users showed greater gains in girth measurements, but by 16 weeks, the gamma oryzanol users exhibited greater girth measurement increases that all steroid users, without ANY side effects! And the dose for gamma oryzanol is low, 75mg to 150mg a day.
